Purpose, Function
The shift lever operates the MTX via the control cable.
Construction

Shift lever
The shift lever is designed to prevent improper shifting to 1st gear and reverse.
Operation
1 GR shifting
A guide plate, attached to the shift lever assembly, prevents accidental shifting into reverse when shifting into 1st gear by restricting the movement of the shift lever.

Reverse shifting
When shifting into reverse, once the shift lever is pressed down and moved towards the reverse position, the projection on the lever goes under the guide plate, releasing the reverse shift restriction and allowing for shifting into reverse.
